It's a beautiful sunny day, so Lily and I take her Grandma to the coast. First stop, Camp 18, a restaurant/museum at mile marker 18.

Then it's to Cannon Beach for a lunch and a quick romp on the beach before heading down the coast towards Tillamook.

Springtime Snow Shoe

Yes, that date is correct. Here is it APRIL 20th and we headed up the mountain for one last snow shoe.

This was a record year in the area for mountain snow as our pictures today testify. The snow even felt deep under our feet. It was a bit odd to be walking along and seeing parts of trees that were typically way above our head.

Looking DOWN at the top of a stop sign buried deep below where we were standing was almost surreal.

What a wonderful day!

Springtime on Lacamas Trail

Eagle Creek Trail, Columbia River Gorge

noreply@blogger.com (wildeoffice) — Mon, 10 Mar 2008 21:34:00 +0000

[view slideshow]

This is a favorite trail of ours. Every season paints a new picture. The water is high, so as we walk along the sounds of the river running and water rushing fill the air along with birds singing and the freshness of a Spring yet to come.

Many of the trees have yet to leaf out, so we have views today that we won't see this summer. The moss is in full bloom, giving the trees the look of antlers in velvet.

When the sun begins to peak out filtering through the towering trees, casting mystical shadows along the trail, it is easy to imagine you're transported into another time, another land. If a Hobbit appeared on the trail, you wouldn't be surprised.

Spectacular is too tame of a word for today. It truly took your breath away.

An Afternoon at Cannon Beach

A stunning day with clear blue skies and unseasonably warm temperatures. What a better place to hang than Cannon Beach. It's always a good choice.

Lily had a great time exploring and walking along all the new trees that the winter's storms had deposited on the beach.

Lacamas Trail

Happy New Year!

noreply@blogger.com (wildeoffice) — Thu, 03 Jan 2008 19:28:00 +0000

Since our Christmas visit to the mountain was so much fun, we decided to do a repeat on New Year's Day. There was about 4-5 more feet of snow that had fallen during the past week making the scenery even more spectacular than before. A different route was chosen, we went left instead of right at the fork in the road

What a wonderful way to greet the New Year!

Lily's favorite massage therapist, Auntie Cheri, has a new addition to her family. Today Jack got to come over to visit Lily and say hello.

Hike/Bike :: Forest Park

noreply@blogger.com (wildeoffice) — Sat, 12 May 2007 22:15:00 +0000

On Fridays you can sometimes find us meeting up with our friends for a hike/bike trek up Thurman Rd in Forest Park. Tyree heads off on his mountain bike for about a 14miler and Lily & I will trek about 5miles.

When the pack of bikers heads off and leaves us in the dust, Lily will howl, bark and screech, scolding them for leaving her behind. She will carry on like this for about 1/8mi the silly girl.

It is a beautiful trail and afterwards we all gather together at the local pub for drinks and dinner.

Happy Birthday, Lily

noreply@blogger.com (wildeshiloh) — Wed, 02 May 2007 21:42:00 +0000

It's hard to believe, but Lily is 7 yrs old today. It seems like yesterday she was just a wee little lass.

Check out her slideshow that chronicals her first seven years.

KeyStone's Jasper Jax O'Zion :: 2003-2007

noreply@blogger.com (wildeoffice) — Sun, 29 Apr 2007 22:39:00 +0000

Lily's nephew, Jasper, lost his courageous battle with cancer today.

Strikingly handsome, Jasper was truly devote to his family. Jasper leaves behind beautiful puppies that will carry on his legacy. They all live in wonderful homes and have already touched the lives of their families the same way Jasper did his. They have his demeanor, his looks, his special way with people and all of them share a little piece of his soul.

He will always live on in our memories.

God Speed, Jasper...

Forest Park :: a Portland Gem

noreply@blogger.com (wildeshiloh) — Sun, 22 Apr 2007 19:05:00 +0000

In the heart of Portland lies Forest Park. With over 5,100 wooded acres & over 70 miles of trails, it is largest, forested natural area within any city limits in the United States. We are truly blessed to have this wonderful park so close and enjoy it often.

Today was the perfect day to head out and take a quick hike and enjoy the wonders of this truly special place.

Willamette Valley Santiam :: 1995-2007

noreply@blogger.com (wildeoffice) — Wed, 18 Apr 2007 22:49:00 +0000

Lily lost her Uncle Riot last week. 3NSbiWSCSq CH-S Willamette Valley Santiam (Riot), CGC was a magnificent boy that truly personified the Shiloh Shepherd. They shared a special relationship. Each seeking out the other during our visits with the Siskiyou Pack. Many a time sharing the crate while we riding along with us.

Lily & Riot, along with Aussie buddies, Dakota & Muffin, were truly the solid stars of our pack pictures. There really wasn't any opportunity that they passed up to pose.

Riot, we were truly blessed to have you as a part of our lives.

the Twigs Come to Visit

noreply@blogger.com (wildeshiloh) — Tue, 17 Apr 2007 18:55:00 +0000

Yesterday Lily was visited by a pack o'puppies from Bend, Oregon. The five adorable fluff-balls were visiting overnight before flying off to their new homes back east.

Always the trooper, Lily escorted the babies into the back yard (they followed her like a bunch of baby ducks) upon their arrival, then she promptly decided her hostess duties were over and she made her escape.

Happy Easter

noreply@blogger.com (wildeshiloh) — Sun, 08 Apr 2007 17:56:00 +0000

Easter Sunday has dawned bright and beautiful. Flowers are in bloom and the Northwest is definitely looking like Spring! Lily is spending a lazy day at home relaxing. She started the morning carrying around her cute little fuzzy white bunny around by his cute fuzzy bunny butt. Carrot snacks keep with the festive theme and she sure would like a bite of that roast in the oven .

Here's wishing all of you a safe and wonderful Easter!
